Over the past year, Trackdays Spain have organised six quality trackdays and built up a loyal following. The days attract a mix of men and women aged from 20 to 60, who love to push their cars to the limit and it’s a friendly, social occasion. The regulars have seen a real improvement to their speed, driving ability and car handling. Trackdays Spain events have seen a beautiful selection of cars including a Ferrari Enzo, Porsche GT3, Lamborghini Gallardo, Radical SR3 and regular attendance from the Ginetta Spain race team.
The trackday concept took off in the UK eight years ago. A few car enthusiasts started organising days at race tracks and disused airfields for people who enjoyed driving fast, but didn’t want the danger and expense of racing. From these humble beginnings, there are now over 600 trackdays a year in the UK and trackday companies have flourished.
Mike Knivett, Founder and Owner of Trackdays Spain decided to bring the concept of affordable, safe trackdays over to Spain.
“I loved trackdays in the UK, and really missed my fix when I moved to Spain. When I looked into what was available here, I was really surprised, there were either manic days full of boy racers and a crash a minute, or seriously expensive options.
I was looking for a fun day where I could take a sports car without worrying that it would be damaged. I couldn’t find it, so I decided to set up my own trackday company.”
The days are run every two months in Guadix, a 3km circuit, an hour outside Granada and under two hours from Marbella. There is a good mix of fast and slow corners with varying cambers and a main straight of 750 meters. The circuit is used by many companies including Renault Motorsport, Aston Martin’s British GT Championship Team, Mitsubishi, Porsche and 95% of all British Superbike factory teams. Trackdays Spain exclusively hires out the circuit for their days so any car lover can drive it and burn rubber like the race drivers!
Trackdays Spain offer driving tuition, helmets and gloves and even hire out a Lotus Elise and five Ginetta race cars, so any driver can enjoy the trackday experience even if they don’t have a fast car, or have never done a trackday before.
